Can you tell me why std.file.read() returns a void[] instead of something like
a ubyte[]?
Well, it magically converts to whatever array type you have. So this
works:
ubyte[] data = read("trash.txt");
It's interesting fact deserving further investigation. It seems that
void[] arrays are converted implicitly, this also works:
void[] tr = malloc(20)[0..20];
data = tr;
(Performing a cast(ubyte[]) in SafeD can be a problem. I presume in SafeD I
have to use other safer functions to load binary data, like slurp() or
something similar.)
